Parkland School District Education Foundation Gala

About 400 people packed Fogelsville's Holiday Inn to celebrate Parkland School District Education Foundation¿s first annual gala Monday, honoring local leaders and national celebrities who graduated from Parkland High School. At the sold-out fundraiser, eight Parkland alumni ¿ including former NFL tight end Tim Massaquoi, opera singer Patricia Risley and actress Michaela Conlin ¿ were inducted into a Wall of Honor that will go up at Parkland High School¿s main entrance. The nonprofit foundation was formed in the fall to raise money for Parkland schools in the wake of budget cuts to education.
